Gunnedah Deep Field (Virgo Cluster)

Yes, OK - so it's only 53 million light years away, so not exactly Hubble Deep Field material.

I captured this back in February and initially posted on IIS. The recent rain prompted me to revisit my data though as I wasn't happy with the earlier outcome. I've included my initial process as a comparison.

I think this one has a better 3D effect now and the galaxy chain is much easier to see. From memory I was able to count 47 galaxies, some faint. One can only dream of flying through the cluster at high warp... the view would be incredible

Cheers, Evan
